1 CommentI heart Mercato Centrale
My friends were a tad surprised when I told them that I like going to Mercato Centrale. Not because I don’t like weekend markets (I do, a lot!) but because Mercato Centrale is quite far from my place. The Fort is not that far but it’s still outside of Makati, about a hundred and twenty...

Dabawenyos love buffets and eat all you can promos. Go around the city and you’ll find many restaurants offering an eat all you can promo and usually at very affordable prices, some for as low as P120. If you love buffets then one might want to try Ranch and Reef, where you can eat all the...

No CommentsThis is not your ordinary meryenda
You have to give it to the Davao Food Appreciation Tour organizers, lechon biik for meryenda? Only in DFAT. After hanging out at Coffee Cat we went to Maam Beb’s bakeshop, where we feasted on lechon, apple pie, and potato rolls among others. This was no ordinary meryenda. I knew I should have started dieting...

I’ve heard about Trellis ‘n Vines last December but never got around to trying the restaurant. Time is always too short when I’m...

1 CommentYellowfin Seafood and Restaurant
One of the things I do when I’m in Davao is stuff myself up with what I would call as ‘Davao Food’. It’s mostly grilled fare and my favorite next to grilled squid — kinilaw. I love seafood, always have, even though I’m allergic to crab and shrimps. When I found out that the welcome...

No CommentsExpecting too much
Last week while on our way to The Collective, we passed by this new cafe/restaurant along Santol Street that looked really nice and cozy from the outside. We made a mental note to try it especially as it was just a few blocks away from our place. Nowadays we either dine out or just order...

No CommentsOff to Davao City
I’m leaving in a few hours and as always I am super excited. It’s no secret that I’ve become addicted to traveling but this trip is kinda special. Davao City’s my hometown, it’s where I grew up and I’ll always feel giddy at the thought of going home to Davao. Another reason why I’m so...

1 CommentTiarara tries the famous tamilok in Palawan
How adventurous I am when it comes to food was challenged during our second day in Palawan. We were in Sabang beach, resting after a sumptuous buffet lunch when a vendor approached us and offered a plastic full of tamilok for a hundred pesos. Eating a tamilok’s on my list of things to do in...

No CommentsComfort food ala Wingman at The Collective
One of the things I love about the place I live in are the shops and food spots that abound in the area. 8065 Bagnet, for example is just a few houses away from our apartment. And of course there’s Saguijo, about 3 streets away where I could watch and listen to my favorite local...
